CARNIVAL KNOWLEDGE 2002: MARDI GRAS MASKS, MUSIC AND MISCHIEF

February 6th, 2002

As Mardi Gras rolls around again, visit the late king of Krewe du Vieux, R & B hero Ernie K-Doe. Ride high with the oldest women’s Mardi Gras parade, Iris, and get down in the streets with a krewe of dogs in costume, Barkus. Plus Mardi Gras music makers in New Orleans, from Al “Carnival Time” Johnson to Rio’s samba schools.
